SEVERANCE x THE DIVIDING SKY

By night, Hester's body is her own.

By day, it belongs to her shadow.

When the shadows-that-be decide to possess their humans 24/7, Hester cons her flatter half to find her shadow-napped brother before it's lights out for humans.

SEVERANCE x THE HOST

By night, Hester's body is her own.

By day, it belongs to her shadow.

When the shadows-that-be decide to possess their humans 24/7, Hester cons her flatter half to find her shadow-napped brother before humans are left in the dark forever.

THE HOST but make it #LGBT

Camping in a post-apocalyptic orchard? No one's that desperate for a boyfriend...except Vespertine's flatbrained shadow.

Good thing there's a grumpy rebel out there who thinks Vess is too handsome to leave for dead—not that he'll admit it.

Vespertine’s body belongs to his ditzy shadow by day…until said flatbrained shadow plans a romantic getaway in a nuclear wasteland.

A grumpy rebel with a cause could get them home—if Vess joins his plot to separate humans & shadows forever.

THE HOST x ❤️ 🤍 & Royal 💙

When Vespertine’s impulsive shadow strands the two of them in a nuclear disaster area (after an equally disastrous romantic getaway), they must disarm & charm a grumpy rebel with a cause to survive a second apocalypse…and each other.

Up next is either a #YA #F fairytale retelling blending the 12 🩰👸 with ATU 451, or an upper #MG #HF set in the shadow of the Akron rubber strikes & featuring Victor Lustig's infamous prison escape.

Both fully outlined…it’s a tossup!

Which do you want to see first?

All of my fav futuristic #f vibes are in “Found Her,” made by @queenofgoldfish.bsky.social for LORE OLYMPUS.

I think of the mag lev travel in my book every time I hear it!

(which is a lot, lol. Love ep. 128!)

The blazer Hester had washed & ironed yesternight had vanished.

Hester cursed herself, and her flatbrain of a shadow, but mostly herself.

(And just for fun, you can find the opening from Hester's brother’s first POV chapter below!)

Hester, a tragically competent sixteen-year-old, has cast her future. She’ll do booty boot camp routines at her shadow’s request, flirt with her best friend, and use her new job’s topographical databases off-label to find her shadow-napped brother, Vespertine.

Hester spends her whole life in the dark…until her flatter half pays her a visit in SHADOWSCAPE.

Excited to share more about her tomorrow for day 2 of #DVparty!

Happy #DVparty, everyone! This futuristic fantasy #moodboard is inspired by Vespertine, my MC who finds love and rebellion in an unusual place (i.e. a post-apocalyptic orchard in a solarpunk world made of glass).

All photos mine—I couldn't resist that rainbow from the Royal Opera House!
